New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas(ankle) is a solid play this week if he plays. The WR missed Weeks 15-17 while on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury that has been bothering him all season. Thomas could only play seven total games in 2020 after he compiled 40 receptions for 438 yards in the regular season. Nevertheless, the team is set to activate

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara would be a strong play if active on Sunday. Kamara has been on the COVID-19 list since Week 17 and missed the last game of the regular season. This week, there is a chance he could return and the RB would be a strong play even against a Bears squad that is stingy against fantasy backs. In his

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees faces a tough test against a stingy Chicago defense this week. In his three starts since returning from a rib and lung injury, Brees has tossed for at least 200 yards in each game along with having a total of six touchdowns and three picks in that span. Though the QB hasn’t been an explosive fantasy option by any

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is poised for a good game against a banged-up Washington Football Team offense on wild-card weekend. Tampa Bay’s unit has recorded the fourth-most sacks this year and the second-highest pressure rate in the NFL. As a team, Washington has thrown the fifth-most interceptions and allowed the second-most sacks. Not only is it a dream matchup on paper, but Washington quarterbackAlex

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic had a sneaky good season as a passing-down specialist and faces the ideal matchup in the opening round of the playoffs. McKissic led all running backs with 110 targets this season, and his 80 receptions were second to only Alvin Kamara. Tampa Bay’s pass-funnel defense plays right into McKissic’s wheelhouse, as the Bucs allowed a league-leading 101 receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski has been hit-or-miss in fantasy this year and seems worth fading ahead of a matchup with a tough Washington Football Team defense. However, Gronkowski is just two games removed from scoring a pair of touchdowns against the Lions- and the big tight end could be the primary red-zone target if Mike Evans (knee) is out or limited. Tom

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown faces the league’s second-ranked pass defense in the Washington Football Team on Saturday. Brown has really started to get going as of late, with 20 catches, 266 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in his last three contests. Brown and Tom Brady appear to be on the same page right now, which could be a bad sign for the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is on fire heading into a playoff matchup with the Washington Football Team. Godwin has scored a touchdown in each of his last three games and has at least 80 yards in back-to-back games. While the matchup with the league’s second-best pass defense is certainly a tough one, the 24-year-old could see additional targets thrown his way if

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is tough to trust for fantasy purposes heading into the playoff opener against Washington. Fournette did get a crack at the starting job when Ronald Jones II missed two games, though he failed to exceed four yards per carry, despite scoring three times in the two games. To make matters worse, Jones returned to the lineup last week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones IImade his return to the field last week after missing two games due to a finger injury and because of a stint on the COVID-19 list. Jones proved he was healthy enough to play, as he delivered 78 rushing yards and a touchdown in the season finale. He’ll be facing a tough task against a Washington Football Team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady faces a tough test against the Washington Football Team on wild-card weekend. Washington owns the second-ranked pass defense as well as a defensive line that generated 47 sacks in the regular season, the sixth-most in the league. Despite the matchup, Brady is rolling right now and should be considered as a DFS option this weekend. The 43-year-old is in

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will go up against the team that drafted him, the Saints, this Sunday during wild-card weekend. The veteran has surprised many in the fantasy community this season, posting top-12 numbers at the tight end position with 50 receptions for 456 yards and eight touchdowns. Graham is averaging only 3.5 targets over his last four games, but the Saints have

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will head into his first postseason game averaging six targets a game over his final five regular season games. The Bears have utilized the rookie in the bootleg passing game and the recent results have been positive. Kmet will go up against a Saints Defense that is allowing the 14th most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. New Orleans

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Mooney enjoyed his best game as a pro last week, catching a career-high 11 passes for 93 yards but failed to finish the game after injuring the ankle on a big hit. The rookie has emerged as one of the more consistent contributors in an up-and-down Bears offense this season and

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday’s wild-card playoff game against the Seahawks. Linebacker Micah Kiser (knee) is also questionable. Goff had surgery last week to fix a broken and dislocated right thumb and missed the Week 17 win over the Cardinals. The 26-year-old has been limited in practice the last couple of days, so he at least

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will face a tough Saints run defense during wild-card weekend. New Orleans has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, and only one runner has posted over 100 rushing yards against them all season. This is not promising news for the Bears, whose late-season resurgence has been predicated on a rejuvenated running game. Montgomery enters the weekend

The Los Angeles Rams activated left tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will play in the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Saturday after recovering from a torn MCL and a damaged PCL. The 39-year-old four-time Pro Bowler could be making his final postseason push for the Rams after spending the last four seasons with them. His return will be

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) underwent an ankle scope, according to a source. The procedure was just some postseason maintenance that will come with minimal rehab, so Cooper should be ready in plenty of time before training camp this summer. Things could’ve soured for the former Raider receiver when quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle injury early in the year, but

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) didn’t take part in practice on Thursday. Robinson was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, so the Bears are likely just giving him a breather before the wild-card playoff game against the Saints on Sunday. Receivers Darnell Mooney (ankle) and Cordarrelle Patterson (personal) also missed practice for the second straight day, which is bad news for

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards still has upside on Sunday against Tennessee. While J.K. Dobbins has been the preferred option out of the backfield, especially after finding the end zone in each of his previous six outings, Edwards continues to get his touches. With the Ravens committed to getting things done on the run, there should be plenty of work to go around on
